I had a dream we were scuba divers.
We floated through life like nothing could hurt us.
We're all running from something, I learned.

I had a dream we climbed mountains.
We sat at the top and looked at the world from above.
We laughed and choked and felt our lungs close.
We're all afraid of dying, I learned.

I had a dream we were astronauts.
We said our goodbyes and floated in the sky,
Looking down only to remember that time
We were scuba divers.
We're all afraid to let go, I learned.

I had a dream you left one day.
You packed your bags and I went to your house.
We hugged and promised to keep in touch
And that I'd visit at least once a month.

I had a dream we grew up.

You don't care about this as much as I want you to,
And I don't care about you as much as you want me to.
So, I think it'd be fair
If we both disappeared
And took some time to recollect.
And at the end of the day,
When all the hurt drifts away,
And the stars no longer weep for our kisses;
We'll end up okay,
And throw this all away,
And maybe meet again
Another warm summer day.

This is for every time I opened up and every time you didn't care
Every time I tried asking what was wrong and you pushed me away
Every time I fell down and you didn't pick me up
I had to do it on my own, does that make you sad at all?
Every time I supported you and barely supported me
Every time I never hit ignore and every time I stayed up staring at my phone waiting for you to text back
Every time I felt betrayed
Every time your eyes stared another way
Every time I felt neglected and ignored, and I did nothing to stop it
Every time I should have said something but I didn't
Every time I just waited and waited for you to say something meaningful
Every time you just didn't understand me
I tried making this work
But you chose to ignore me
Once again.
This is for the the time I chose to walk away.

The world is quiet first thing in the morning.
I feel content in those moments, I feel no anxiety.
The world breathes with us,
It inhales when we do, exhales for us when we don't,
But it does not stop when we do.
It never will.

We became familiar with this lifestyle, with these people, and these smells.
Someday they will leave us, and I can't quite grasp why they will.
We dream of places of beauty and desire,
At night when our sad eyes finally retire.

So let us be human and let us continue to breathe.
Because someday when our lungs decide to kick, we will probably miss the feeling.
The taste of fresh air lets me know you're still here
In my blood, in my lungs, and in my heart.

To become content with death is something I don't think we ever will be,
But until then I'm content with being me.
So let the wind come in through my window and
Knock down all the pictures and all my trinkets on the windowsill.  
Let the air inhale through my body and let the world exhale it out.

My heart is shattered and scattered across the floor.
Where were you to sweep up the dust;
To put me together and bring my heart back where it was?
Are you too lazy to care anymore?

If I was a flower I thought you were the bee;
Flying around and seeing all there was to see.
But, I know now that you were nothing but a pest,
Breaking off my petals and creating a mess.

If I was a cloud I thought you were the rain;
Pouring down to explore the world,
But always coming back again.
However this time I realize you stayed on the ground;
Never coming back and creating a drought.

My heart is shattered and scattered across the floor,
And you're not here to pick me up anymore.
So, I'll get down on my knees and collect all the pieces,
Remembering the day I realized I don't need this.

I love the nights when the sky melts in the sea and they appear to be one.
The boats in the harbor seem to be floating peacefully among the stars.
These are the moments I feel amazing.
These summer nights remind me of the world's natural beauty
And remind me to appreciate the little things
Like car rides and ice cream.
